Overview
This five-hour trip from Montreal, run by Concord Tours and Travel, spends its main block at Cabane à Sucre Chez Dany, a sugar shack where the visit includes an admission ticket, a buffet lunch and a maple syrup tasting. The day is built around food: reviewers describe an all-you-can-eat spread that runs from soup through ham, sausages, potatoes, beets and omelette, finishing with pancakes and taffy cake, with maple syrup poured over more or less everything. Before or after the meal there is a short presentation on how maple syrup is made.
The roundtrip transport runs from 10:00 to 17:00 while the listed duration is 5 hours, departing from 99 Avenue Viger O in Montreal, with a courtesy pickup and dropoff available from hotels within 5 km of that departure point. Several travellers mention the ride out to the shack runs roughly an hour and a half or more, and that the return leg can stretch longer in heavy traffic. One or two reviewers mention a short stop in a small town along the way, time to walk around on your own.

It suits visitors who want a hearty Quebec meal and a taste of sugar shack culture without renting a car. It is not a deep dive into maple production; reviewers repeatedly note the educational portion is brief. Come hungry, and treat the meal and the setting as the main draw.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical points come up again and again in the reviews and on the booking page details.
- Come hungry. The lunch is all you can eat, and multiple reviewers describe a full buffet plus pancakes and taffy cake at the end. One traveller's advice was simply to arrive with an appetite.
- Long drive. The ride out takes about an hour and a half or more, and several reviewers say the return can stretch much longer in traffic.
- Brief education. The maple presentation is short, roughly five to twenty minutes depending on the reviewer. Anyone expecting a tree-to-bottle deep dive should adjust expectations; the meal and the setting are the focus.
- Big group. The tour runs with a maximum of 50 travellers. Reviews mention being seated quickly and led as a group to the presentation.
- Free time in town. One or two reviewers mention time in a small town on the way, spent walking around on their own. Treat this as flexible wandering time rather than a guided stop.
- Dress for weather. The experience requires good weather and is not wheelchair accessible. Infants must sit on laps, and the meeting point is near public transportation.
Common issues. The educational portion is short, and one reviewer felt the overall day ran long relative to the activities on offer; the same reviewer described the sugar shack portion as lasting only a few minutes and heavy traffic on the return. Another noted there was no chance to buy maple products at the shack itself. The group is capped at 50 travellers, and the tour is not wheelchair accessible. It also requires a minimum number of travellers and good weather; if either forces a cancellation, the operator offers a different date or a full refund.

The price includes a multi-lingual guide, roundtrip transport from Montreal between 10:00 and 17:00, a buffet sugar shack lunch with maple syrup tasting, admission to Cabane à Sucre Chez Dany, taxes and gratuities. Hotel pickup and dropoff within 5 km of the departure point is complimentary. Personal expenses and alcoholic beverages are not included.
Do I Have To Pay Extra For Lunch Or The Sugar Shack Admission?
No. The buffet lunch, the maple syrup tasting and the admission ticket to Cabane à Sucre Chez Dany are all part of the tour. Only personal expenses and alcoholic drinks are listed as extras.
Where Does The Tour Meet, And Is Hotel Pickup Available?
The meeting point is 99 Avenue Viger O in Montreal, with a 10:00 start. The operator offers complimentary pickup and dropoff from Montreal hotels within 5 km of that departure point, and the tour ends back at the same spot.
Is The Tour Suitable For Kids Or People With Limited Mobility?
Infants must sit on laps, and most travellers can participate. However, the tour is not wheelchair accessible. The stop also involves a buffet meal and periods of walking, so anyone with mobility concerns should weigh the format.
What Is The Cancellation Policy?
A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the 10:00 start time. Cancellations or changes inside that window are not refunded or accepted. The tour also needs good weather and a minimum number of travellers; if it is cancelled for either reason, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What Should I Bring?
Bring an appetite, since the meal is all you can eat and reviewers say to come hungry. Money for personal expenses and alcoholic drinks is worth having, and comfortable shoes help for the free time in the town stop. Note that one reviewer found no shop selling maple products at the shack itself.
